Specifically, found significant trends remain after removing effects parameterized VS30⁠, CENA. We therefore modeled response using both VS30 led reduced variability. us wonder similar are present California, where use common practice. Might variability also be combination VS30? Next Generation Attenuation West2 ground‐motion database answer question "Yes," but note effect weaker than By following same methodology CENA incorporating an additional parameter, can reduce site‐to‐site component ground motion (by 5% average). conclude including warranted addition its You do not have access content, please speak institutional administrator you feel should access.
